HyeoEun’s POV

Kyuhyun and I haven’t spent solid time together since my birthday last week. When he came back to the dorm he barely spoke to us about why he had gone off earlier on.  He’s been really distant lately. Even when he has no schedule, he’s not home. I decided to be the faithful girlfriend and not ask. I’m sure he wants me to trust.

“HyeoEun-ah, do you have a plus-one for the sponsorship dinner tomorrow? Is Kyuhyun available?” Eonni asked me.

“Kyuhyun-ah, are you free next Tuesday?” I asked when he came home late at night. I had stayed up watching TV just to ask him that question.
